Summary: Take a Quiet Homey Trip to the Northwoods
Review: A whimsical new approach to the classic counting book. One golden line made me homesick for my midwestern roots...extension cords for the car heater get counted along with other things familiar to those who know the northern lake country.

Summary: Authentic Children's Literature
Review: I love reading this book to my daughter! Betsy Bowen stays true to Minnesota, illustrating the common ties that make the North Shore the wonderful place that it is. Bowen's illustrations are the art of life on a page, and should not be missed. An authentic look at traditions of Northern Minnesota from a simple, and beautifully traditional point of view.
